Filler Strips or Backguard
WARNING: The Filler Strip supplied or
optional backguard must be used.
With any installation do not let the
countertop or other combustible material fill the
space between the back edge of the cooktop and
back of the required cutout.
Your range is designed to be installed in a 30"
wide opening; the cutout depth will vary with the
type countertop you have. There are three
basic recommended installations:
1. Standard 25" countertop without post-formed
backsplash.
2. Island.
3. Standard countertop with post-formed
backsplash.
After deciding the countertop type you have,
choose the best installation to meet your needs.
With any installation, mark the cutout on the
counter.
Dimensions given in the following references are
measured from the front of the counter, not from
the cabinet face. To minimize chipping, you may
apply masking tape. For best appearance, it is
important that the cut be smooth and straight.

Side Trim Extention Kit
If there is a small gap between the sides of the
range and the cabinets (up to 1/4" each side) you
can order a side trim extension kit through any
Service Center.
